I have finally decided to do a boutique in my home. I have done crafts shows before but I have never done anything but classes out of my home, so we will see how it goes. I have been convinced by loving friends. But I am super excited. I want everyone to come and hang out. We are going to have fall treats and apple cider.( I LOVE FALL) There will be Halloween, Fall, Thanksgiving, and Christmas decor. Along with regular all the time decor and gifts that will be just in time for Christmas. There will be tons to walk out the door with but if there is something you like and I don't have anymore or if you want a custom picture item I will have all custom orders done in time to give away for Christmas.

So please help me to spread the news. Tell anybody you want.
I want all to feel invited and welcome.
If things are tight, I know the feeling , just come and hang out!
Hope to see you all!

It will be on:
October 11th from 10:00 until 2:00pm

Here are some picture of things I have made already. I will try to get more posted soon.

VEGGIE TALES at the State Fair

We went to the fair on Tuesday night to see the Veggie Tales live in concert! It was so much fun. My boys had a blast and Chad and I were just beaming watching them dance and sing along. The only time they took their eyes of the stage was to dance around. We had a great time spending time as a family. It was totally worth the $13.00. Yes, it was only $13.00 for our whole family to get into the fair and go to the concert. (yes, I'm giggling that kind of savings makes me very excited)

O.k. so I think that I have the cutest boys. ALL 3 OF THEM! I love watching Chad with the boys. He gets so happy and emotional like me when we sees the boys get so excited about something.



I love this picture! This is Noah's WOW face. When he gets excited he makes this face and then whispers, WoW! I love this little ball of fire!

So here are my Veggie Tale boys. They were so excited to get hats. They haven't taken them off. Noah took a nap in his yesterday.

We ran into some old friends, the Daniels at the fair. Jaxon hit it off with their little girl Kennedy. They were so cute together.
The boys loved the animals. Jaxon almost got peed on by a cow and Noah wanted nothing to do with the big pig that was trying to get his food. My little chunk could out fight a pig anyday for food!
We had so much fun at the Fair. Thanks for looking, I know there were a ton a pictures of this trip but I did'nt want to leave anything out!
